I've been playing around again and mixing up dies from different sets which can be fun most of the time but occasionally frustrating when they don't always quite 'fit'. Luckily this time they seem to have come together quite nicely and details of items I used are below. Now of course I have to make sure they all get stored away properly in their original sets before I get totally confused! Fortunately I managed to find some scraps of card which matched the delicate shade of the background but I'm not at all sure if and when I can obtain any more to go with the rest of the papers from the pad! As I've used snippets of card for three of my layers and the sentiment I reckon this card will fit the
